Coolest ways to get fit: Warm up with these seasonal winter sports

The icy months aren’t for rugging up, they’re a chance to get stuck into slippery seasonal sports

We’re stoked it’s winter – there are a bunch of activities you can only do when it’s this nippy. These are the coolest sports to get involved with this season, guaranteed to get you buff even while wearing mittens.

Ice skating

What: Pockets of the city turn into beautiful outdoor ice rinks that look straight out of the movies. One of our favourites is between the Canary Wharf skyscrapers. You’ve never seen ‘suits’ being so silly, holding onto the edge, falling over and colliding on the ice.Where & when: 9.45am-10pm, Nov 3-Jan 13. Canada Square, E14 5AB. £12.50 per hour.See: .skatecanarywharf.com

Ski fitness

What: Prepare for that big winter trip to the slopes by training at this class.

It’s designed to help you work and tone all the areas your body will need, meaning you get further off-piste, are able to ski for longer and probably most importantly, reduce your chances of getting injured out there.
